Go for it (LPG that is). With the 2k Gov rebate it shouldn't end up costing you more than $500. 60 will have plenty of room for a tank. Better not to put it underneath if you want to do some proper off-roading in it.

5 typical toyota's then

Typical Toyota's I don't think so. I have been working on Toyota's at a dealership for 12years. The main reason for rebulding everything is due to poor maintainance. look after a vehicle & it will look after you.

Thanx

Glug, Glug, Glug, Glug sorry got carried away but yeah they shore do love there juice and well if you have a fat wallet for the bowzer then sure get one. As for capability they are great performers and quite strong.

While the old 2F & 3F 4.0ltr petrols can be quite reliable [on the 3F - it can require the "Points" to be re-set every few months] , & the 2H diesel could last a very long time if well looked after [but slow ,lol] , the motor to get in this classic vehicles is the "12-HT" which is the factory direct-injection turbo diesel [it's also a 4.0ltr] .The standard 2H was an in-direct injection & non-turbo motor .
